Manufacturers Who Know Their Numbers Win

Access to updated information is key to improving operations in any company. At Andonix, we use our Smart Work Station® to capture essential data on production, quality, maintenance, and task compliance (such as audits, maintenance routines, startups, and inspections) for each individual client. This information is then visualized and analyzed through Power BI, allowing customers to build custom dashboards and reports tailored to their specific needs.

While most of the reports we generate through Business Intelligence tools are not in true “real-time” (like live monitors), they do enable teams to review recent performance—by machine, by individual operator, by shift, by day, or by week. This quick access to recent data helps identify trends, spot improvement areas, and make decisions based on facts.

 For example, one of our food manufacturing customers analyzed their slicing line’s efficiency and equipment availability. Thanks to insights gained via Power BI reports, they were able to eliminate an entire production shift for significant cost savings and achieve a 13% improvement in their OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) on that line.

 Having access to fresh, reliable data empowers teams to act before small issues snowball into big problems with big cost consequences. Whether adjusting production plans, strengthening maintenance programs, or improving compliance with critical processes, quick access to the right data drives quality, productivity and margins.

 What smarter decisions could you make today if you had the right data at your fingertips?
